My first book Mission: Find Mum was published in 2024 by Stairwell Books. I gained a MA in Creative Writing from the University of Salford, where I was awarded the Leanne Bridgewater Award for Innovation and Experiment in 2020. I am currently working on an ‘autohistory’ aka memoir of female/gay life before 2000.
